I have made the Tarot Masters in their entirety.
All of the Major and Minor Arcana are done.
I used them quite a bit as Justice Avenger became a major player in my campaign (and love interest of PC Wraith… She was once the former super heroine from Pennsylvania called Wondra).
I will comment more on them more when I get to the Pentacle Plot Mod.

If anyone wants a pretty accurate description of what the Major Arcana represent here they are.

0. The Foolish Man.--Folly, Expiation, Wavering; R. Hesitation, Instability, Trouble arising herefrom.
1. The Juggler.--Will, Will-Power, Dexterity; R. Will applied to evil ends, Weakness of Will, Cunning, Knavishness.

11. Strength, or Fortitude.--Power, Might, Force, Strength, Fortitude; R. Abuse of Power, Overbearingness, Want of Fortitude.
12. The Hanged Man.--Self-sacrifice, Sacrifice, Devotion, Bound; R. Selfishness, Unbound, Partial sacrifice.
13. Death.--Death, Change, Transformation, Alteration for the worse; R. Death just escaped, Partial change, Alteration for the better.
14. Temperance.--Combination, Conformation, Uniting; R. Ill-advised combinations, Disunion, Clashing interests, &c.
15. The Devil.--Fatality for Good; R. Fatality for Evil.
16. The Lightning-struck Tower.--Ruin, Disruption, Over-throw, Loss, Bankruptcy; R. These in a more or less partial degree.

The Major Arcana of the Tarot Masters if one of our main organizations, though they're not one of the top tier "bad guy groups".  They show up from time to time with interesting and mysterious goals and projects.  Here's who we've used:

Mr Noman
The Fool
Justice-Avenger
Diablo
Priestess
Moonflash
Tower

(all as per the module and supplement)

also, I've made a few more myself, or brought them from other NPCs in the campaign:

Empress: character I made up
Hierophant: I took an old villain from our campaign called the Paladin and turned him into Hierophant.  Interestly enough, when the new Living Legends adventure came out, the main villain (a European magic user) was named Heirophant, so I think this guy is going to change his name to the Pope.
Hermit: Scuz from The Dawn of DNA joined and changed his name.
Strength: This was the first character I made up and added to this group; I used the image of this big, multi-armed Amphibious character from Champions (I think he's called Grond).
Hanged Man: I made up a cool character that literally looks like a zombie hanging from a rope who floats around in a chair; he's particularly creepy.
Death: Skeletal character I made.  The most commonly used name for bad guys in our campaign (there have been three villains that use that moniker, including this guy and one of the Four Horsemen from Super Crooks and Criminals).
Daystar: I think that's her name.  She is a character made by one of our other player/GMs (the guy who has the Tarot Masters as his main "bad guy group"); she showed up originally with the name of Flaming Star, which happened to be the name of the only PC my wife ever played (in the campaign, many years previous); because of that this villainess changed her name.

The rest of the spots remain vacant, available for GMs to create and use as they wish.

Thanks in advance!

I think since I'm not a member, I can't view anything at all.  When I go to the "Superbuddies Staff Quarters" it tells me "There are no topics or posts in this forum."   

I have turned them into Pentacrime.
